Is It Beneficial to Work out Prior to a Mommy Makeover?

In general the better physical shape you are in the easier your recovery from surgery will be. Depending on how long you have before surgery you could start an exercise program before your surgery. However, I would not recommend this if you only have a few days. You do not want to be soar from exercising and then have surgery, this will cause  you to have more pain.

Exercise can be beneficial to your post-surgery recovery, as well as your overall final result. It is encouraged that you lose as much weight through diet and exercise prior to your procedure to ensure the best possible results. Losing a significant amount of weight after surgery could result in additional revisionary surgery. It is essential that you be at your optimal health to aid in the healing process especially since you will be recovering from multiple procedures. It is very important that you take it easy and follow all of the post-op care instructions from your plastic surgeon to avoid any complications. Good luck!

Establishing a good workout regimen especially a Pilates style core strengthening will enhance your post-operative results combined with aerobic fitness will expedite your recovery from anesthesia and perhaps maximize tissue oxygenation which can only improve your overall wound healing.
